Some games will try and get your cash through in-app payments, but even with these minor annoyances you can still find quality titles for nothing.

Here are the best titles to get started with:

Pokémon GO

It had to be Pokémon GO really, didn't it? The augmented reality game has been the breakout mobile hit of 2016.

If you haven't got into it yet, it involves walking around to catch virtual creatures before battling them against other players. A few extra treats have been released for the Christmas period, so it's a good time to get into it.

The game is free to download and play but can require in-app payments.

Clash Royale

Clash Royale for iOS

A spinoff from Clash of Clans, this is a realtime multiplayer game that Google included on its end-of-year list.

"Collect and upgrade dozens of cards featuring the Clash of Clans troops, spells and defenses you know and love, as well as the Royales: Princes, Knights, Baby Dragons and more. Knock the enemy King and Princesses from their towers to defeat your opponents and win Trophies."

Simple, right? This game is also free to download but does contain in-app purchases.
